CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

A number of statements (i) in this Quarterly Earnings Review, (ii) in our presentations and (iii) in the responses to questions may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which may be expressed in a variety of ways, including the use of future or present tense language, relate to, among other things, investments in assets subsequent to the end of first quarter of 2009; FDIC deposit assessments; expectations with respect to service quality; expectations with respect to the timing and amount of future dividends and growth; repayment of the TARP investment; and expected losses on the securities portfolio; as well as the Company’s overall plans, strategies, goals, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions. These statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of these risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risk factors and other uncertainties set forth in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008 and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements in this earnings review speak only as of April 21, 2009 and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after that date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Throughout this Quarterly Earnings Review, certain financial measures, which are noted, exclude and/or are adjusted for certain items. These adjustments or exclusions can impact revenue, noninterest expense, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share amounts as well as related ratios and growth rates. We believe this supplemental non-GAAP information is useful to the investment community in analyzing the financial results and trends in our business. We believe this information facilitates comparisons with prior periods and reflects the principal basis on which our management internally monitors financial performance. These items also are excluded from our segment measures used internally to evaluate segment performance because management does not consider them to be particularly relevant or useful in evaluating the operating performance of our business segments. Below is a listing of certain financial measures which have been impacted by the exclusion and/or adjustment of certain items.

Revenue: Investment write-downs and SILO/LILO charges.

Noninterest expense: Support agreement and restructuring charges, merger & integration (“M&I”) expenses; intangible amortization expense and goodwill impairment.

Earnings per share: Investment write-downs, SILO/LILO/tax settlement charges, support agreement and restructuring charges, M&I expenses, intangible amortization expense and goodwill impairment.

Prior period amounts have been reclassified.

(c) Excluding investment write-downs and SILO/LILO charges.

N/M - Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

• Asset servicing fees – Continued strong new business wins over the past year offset by lower securities lending revenue, lower market values and transaction volumes and a stronger U.S. dollar, impacted the year-over-year and sequential results.

• Issuer services fees – Lower levels of fixed income issuances globally, partially offset by higher Depositary Receipts due to the timing of corporate actions impacted the year-over-year results. The decrease sequentially reflects lower revenue from Depositary Receipts due to timing of corporate actions and lower Shareowner Services revenue due to lower corporate action activity and the impact of lower equity values on stock option plan fees.

• Clearing services fees – Year-over-year results were impacted by lower asset values and lower money market mutual fund related revenue. Lower trading volumes in 1Q09, as compared to the record level of trading activity in 4Q08 and lower money market mutual fund related revenue contributed to the linked quarter decline.

• Asset and wealth management fees – Year-over-year and linked quarter, the impact of new business was offset by the global weakness in market values and the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

• Foreign exchange and other trading was $307 million compared with $259 million in 1Q08 and a record $510 million in 4Q08. The increase from 1Q08 reflects the benefit from higher volatility of key currencies, partially offset by lower client volumes. The decrease from 4Q08 reflects the impact of both lower volatility and client volumes.

• Investment income decreased $49 million compared to 1Q08 and $68 million sequentially. Both decreases primarily resulted from the write-downs related to certain equity investments.

• Securities write-downs totaled $295 million in 1Q09 compared with write-downs of $73 million in 1Q08 and $1.241 billion in 4Q08. The write-downs in 1Q08 and 4Q08 included an expected incurred loss of $22 million and $208 million, respectively. Write-downs in 1Q09 primarily reflect the deterioration in the credit quality of certain securities and the adverse impact of low interest rates on a structured tax investment. See the investment portfolio discussion on page 9 for further details.

• The decrease in other revenue compared with 1Q08 primarily resulted from the $42 million gain related to the initial public offering of VISA recorded in 1Q08.

bps - basis points.

KEY POINTS

• Net interest revenue and related margin continued to be influenced by the size of the balance sheet, historically low interest rates, and our conservative investment strategy in an uncertain environment.

• Net interest revenue (FTE) increased 3% year-over-year and declined 26% (unannualized) sequentially.

• The increase compared with 1Q08 principally reflects a higher level of average interest earning assets, driven by a 66% increase in noninterest-bearing deposits, partially offset by the lower value of interest-free funds.

• The sequential decrease reflects record low interest rates resulting in a lower value of interest-free funds and narrower spreads. Also contributing to the decline was a lower level of average interest-earning assets resulting from the anticipated decline in the size of the balance sheet as short-term credit markets normalized.

• The net interest margin decreased 25 basis points year-over-year and 45 basis points sequentially reflecting the impact of lower interest rates on the value of noninterest-bearing deposits and our conservative investment strategy, which was demonstrated by the increase in the proportion of average interest-earning assets invested in cash/interbank investments rising from 32% to 49% year-over-year.

• Subsequent to the end of 1Q09, we have begun to re-invest in high quality earnings assets with a duration of approximately 2-4 years.

KEY POINTS

• Strong expense management in response to the operating environment and the continued impact of merger-related synergies drove year-over-year and sequential declines in noninterest expense (excluding goodwill impairment, support agreement charges, restructuring charges, intangible amortization and M&I expenses).

• The 10% year-over-year decrease was driven by a 15% decline in total staff expense resulting from lower incentive and compensation expense, a 33% decrease in business development expense and a stronger U.S. dollar. Partially offsetting these declines were higher net occupancy and professional, legal and other purchased services.

• The sequential decrease of 9% (unannualized) included declines in nearly all expense categories.

• The 1Q09 goodwill impairment charge related to our Mellon United National Bank subsidiary. The restructuring charges in 4Q08 and 1Q09 relate to the 4Q08 announcement of a 4% reduction in staff.

• In 1Q09, the FDIC proposed a 10-20 basis point special emergency deposit assessment for all depository institutions which is expected to be recorded in 2Q09, if approved. Based on 1Q09 average assessable deposits and assuming a 10 basis point rate, the charge relating to this proposal would have been approximately $75 million.

(a) Amortized cost increased $1.1 billion as a result of adopting FAS 115-2.

(b) The net impact of recording recent accounting changes increased the portfolio’s unrealized loss by $75 million.

(c) Amortized cost before impairments.

(d) As a result of the cumulative effect adjustment of adopting FAS 115-2, life-to-date impairment charges decreased $1.1 billion.

(e) The “Watch list” includes those securities we view as having a higher risk of additional impairment charges.

Since the end of the fourth quarter, the housing market indicators and the broader economy continued to deteriorate. To reflect the declining value of homes in the current environment, we adjusted our non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) loss severity assumptions to decrease the amount we expect to receive to cover the value of the original loan. These adjustments to our assumptions, along with projected defaults, generated a loss in our Alt-A securities portfolio of $125 million in the first quarter of 2009.

The following table provides the detail of securities portfolio losses for the first quarter of 2009.

Securities portfolio losses (in millions)	1Q09
Alt-A securities	$	125	(a)
Home equity line of credit		18	(a)
European floating rate notes		4
ABS CDOs		3
Prime MBS		3
Credit cards		2
Other		140	(b)
Total	$	295

(a) Includes $42 million previously recorded in 4Q08 and required to be written down again by FAS 115-2.

(b) Includes $95 million resulting from the impact of low interest rates on a structured tax investment and $37 million of seed capital write-downs.

Effective March 31, 2009, the Company adopted FAS 115-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI)” which changes the accounting for OTTI. As a result, in the first quarter of 2009, the expected loss component of $295 million was recorded as a securities loss in earnings and the non-credit related component of $1.290 billion remains in accumulated OCI.

N/M - Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

• Asset management results continued to reflect the benefit of new business and strong expense control, offset by the challenging market environment.

• Asset and wealth management fees year-over-year and sequentially reflect the weakness in global market values and the impact of historically low interest rates, partially offset by new business in the institutional and retail channels and positive flows in prime money market mutual funds (shift from Treasury/Government funds).

• Ongoing expense management in response to the operating environment resulted in 1Q09 noninterest expense ( ex. intangible amortization and support agreement charges) declining 26% year-over-year, and 14% (unannualized) sequentially. The decline over both periods reflects staff reductions, consolidation of investment processes and continued fund mergers. Year-over-year total compensation expense declined 29%.

• For 1Q09, income before tax excluding intangible amortization, support agreement charges and investment write-downs would have been $118 million and pre-tax operating margin would have been 22%.

• Stronger investment performance resulted in market share gains domestically and internationally.

(a) The pre-tax operating margin for 3Q08, excluding support agreement charges and intangible amortization, was 34%.

N/M - Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

• Wealth Management results continue to reflect the benefit of strong organic growth, as $13 billion in net inflows over the last twelve months ($2 billion in 1Q09) were driven by the family office platform and the Northeast wealth markets.

• Total fee and other revenue decreased 15% compared with 1Q08 and increased 5% (unannualized) sequentially. Year-over-year lower equity values more than offset organic growth while on a linked quarter basis, organic growth and higher capital markets fees more than offset lower equity values.

• Net interest revenue increased 9% year-over-year and decreased 11% (unannualized) sequentially. The year-over-year increase was due primarily to increased loan levels and loan spreads. The sequential decrease reflects lower deposit spreads, partially offset by a record level of jumbo mortgage originations resulting in higher average loan levels.

• Noninterest expense (excluding intangible amortization and support agreement charges) decreased 10% compared with 1Q08 and 9% (unannualized) sequentially due to continued impact of merger-related synergies and overall expense control. Strong expense management resulted in flat operating leverage year-over-year and 1,000 basis points of positive operating leverage sequentially.

• Wealth Management has a presence in 15 of the top 25 domestic wealth markets.

• Continued to gain market share, driven by 13 consecutive quarters of positive net client flows.

N/M – Not meaningful.

KEY POINTS

• In Asset Servicing, continued strong new business ($1.9 trillion AUC over the last 12 months) and strong expense control helped mitigate the impact of weaker market values, lower market volatility and historically low interest rates.

• Asset servicing fees year-over-year and sequentially reflect the benefit of new business over the past year, offset by lower securities lending fees, lower market levels and transaction volumes and a stronger U.S. dollar.

• Securities lending fees decreased $155 million compared with 1Q08 and $97 million sequentially reflecting lower spreads, lower market valuations and overall de-leveraging in the financial markets.

• Foreign exchange and other trading was essentially flat year-over-year and declined 46% (unannualized) compared to the record 4Q08. The year-over-year results reflect lower volumes largely offset by increased volatility while the sequential decline reflects both lower volatility and volumes.

• Net interest revenue increased 12% compared to the prior year and decreased 39% (unannualized) sequentially. The increase year-over-year reflects increased deposit levels while the sequential quarter decrease resulted from lower deposit levels, down from historical highs in 4Q08, and lower spreads.

• Strong expense control as well as the continued impact of merger-related synergies resulted in noninterest expense declining 5% year-over-year and 16% (unannualized) sequentially. The declines over both periods were driven by declines in nearly all expense categories, including compensation expense, which decreased 9% year-over-year and approximately 12% (unannualized) on a linked quarter basis.

• 1Q09 new business wins totaled $335 billion.

• R&M Global Custody Survey – BNY Mellon ranked #1 overall for the second consecutive year.

• Global Investor Magazine FX Survey – #1 FX provider including Best FX Service Overall.

KEY POINTS

• Issuer Services results continued to be favorably impacted by higher customer deposit balances and the benefit of new business, partially offset by the challenging operating environment in the domestic Corporate Trust businesses as well as lower overall corporate action activity and lower equity markets.

• Total revenue grew 8% compared to 1Q08 and decreased 7% (unannualized) sequentially driven by:

• Corporate Trust – Year-over-year revenue growth resulting from higher net interest revenue reflecting higher customer deposit balances as well as the benefit of new business in the Global and Corporate businesses, was partially offset by lower revenue in the Structured and Municipal businesses.

• Depositary Receipts – Total revenue increased year-over-year and declined linked quarter. Both periods benefited from new business and were impacted by the timing of corporate action fees.

• Shareowner Services – Revenue decreased both year-over-year and sequentially resulting from lower overall corporate action activity and the impact of lower equity values on employee stock option plan fees.

• Strong expense control resulted in a 7% decrease in noninterest expense both year-over-year and linked quarter driven by a 17% and 8% (unannualized) decline in total compensation expense compared to 1Q08 and 4Q08, respectively. Compared to 1Q08, the decrease in noninterest expense contributed to approximately 1,500 basis points of positive operating leverage.

• Continued to maintain #1 market position in all three Issuer Services businesses – increased market share in Corporate Trust and Depositary Receipts businesses.

(a) In the first quarter of 2009, the financial results of the execution businesses were reclassified from the Clearing Services segment to the Other segment. All prior periods have been reclassified.

KEY POINTS

• Clearing Services results reflect the benefit of strong expense control which helped mitigate the impact of weaker market values, lower market volatility and low interest rates.

• Total fee and other revenue increased 6% compared with 1Q08 due primarily to higher trading revenue, partially offset by lower asset values and money market related fees. Compared with 4Q08, fee and other revenue decreased 8% (unannualized) primarily due to both lower average daily trading volumes and money market related fees.

• Net interest revenue increased 9% compared with 1Q08 driven by higher customer balances partially offset by narrower spreads. Net interest revenue decreased 15% (unannualized) sequentially due to lower customer balances and narrower spreads.

• Strong expense control resulted in year-over-year and linked quarter declines in noninterest expense. Compared to 1Q08 noninterest expense declined 4% contributing to 1,100 basis points of positive operating leverage. Noninterest expense decreased 6% (unannualized) sequentially. The declines from both prior periods were driven by lower compensation expense, which decreased 13% and 12% (unannualized), compared to 1Q08 and 4Q08, respectively.

• Increased market position as #1 provider to the introducing broker-dealer segment.

KEY POINTS

• Treasury Services results primarily reflect the impact of market share gains and continued expense control, offset by lower net interest revenue.

• Total fee and other revenue increased 5% compared to 1Q08 and 3% (unannualized) sequentially, as the impact of new business was offset by lower global payment volumes. Also contributing to the increase over both periods was higher capital markets related fees.

• Net interest revenue declined $24 million compared to 1Q08 and $75 million sequentially. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to lower spreads and loan volumes, while the sequential decline was driven by lower deposit and loan levels, and lower spreads.

• Noninterest expense decreased 5% compared with 1Q08 and 4% (unannualized) sequentially reflecting overall expense control.

(a) In the first quarter of 2009, the financial results of the execution businesses were reclassified from Clearing Services to the Other segment. All prior periods have been reclassified.

KEY POINTS

• Fee and other revenue decreased $300 million compared to 1Q08 and increased $751 million compared to 4Q08 with the variances over both periods primarily due to the level of investment write-downs.

• Net interest revenue decreased $39 million compared to 1Q08 reflecting the impact of the changing interest rate environment on Corporate Treasury allocations.

• Noninterest expense (excluding goodwill impairment, restructuring charges, intangible amortization and M&I expenses) was flat compared to 1Q08 and increased $56 million sequentially. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher corporate level expenses, including higher payroll tax and pension expense.

• The 1Q09 goodwill impairment charge related to our Mellon United National Bank subsidiary. The restructuring charges in 4Q08 and 1Q09 relate to the 4Q08 announcement of a 4% reduction in staff.
